Weekend Away: Bristol & Cardiff

Thursday - Sunday my best friend, Hannah, & I spent a long weekend in Bristol, and travelled through to Cardiff for the 1D concert (my ultimate guilty pleasure!)

Here are some of my holiday snaps!

As my birthday gift, Hannah had got me a ticket to see One Direction, and we decided after finishing (and passing!) 2nd year of uni, we'd take some time off and have a girly weekend! It was great to spend some one-on-one time with her as I'm really going to miss her when she goes off to San Diego in September to study abroad for a semester. The concert was amazing & we even managed to sneak into better standing, which was a great laugh. Oh, and McBusted were supporting them (which brought back childhood memories *plays Year 3000*)

Bristol itself is such a beautiful city! The atmosphere is so laid back- the sun was shining and there were plenty of beer gardens, which equals my kinda place. Along with cute little side-streets and vintage markets, the night life was brilliant. I would recommend a city break here to anyone!

Oh I just felt a tiny bit nostalgic thinking about Busted and McFly lol :) never mind, we're all allowed a few guilty pleasures! Cardiff and Bristol look cool, I've never been there, but I'll have to make a trip sometime. I love the look of the Cathedral and the pirate ship! Girly weekends are the best :) x
